Bengaluru's pride, Narayana Health City, has achieved a massive milestone in the field of cardiac care in India! For the very first time in the country, a severe condition called 'Pure Native Aortic Valve Regurgitation'—where the heart valve fails to close completely, causing blood to flow backward—has been successfully treated using a specialized TAVR Device. Senior Consultant Cardiologist Dr. Suraj Narasimhan and his expert team successfully led this ultra-modern and complex procedure, bringing a revolutionary shift in cardiac treatments.

Treating elderly patients suffering from this condition through traditional methods was highly risky and extremely challenging. For such patients, Open Heart Surgery was the absolute last option. To overcome this medical challenge, Narayana Health obtained special government permission to import the revolutionary 'Hanchor Valve System'. This special device is uniquely designed to match the anatomical needs of the valve, instantly raising the treatment success rate from 67% to a whopping 95%!

This groundbreaking treatment was performed on two senior citizens, aged 80 and 69, who were at high risk for open-heart surgery. Without any major incisions, the valve was successfully implanted through the femoral artery in just 45 to 60 minutes! Incredible as it sounds, both patients were standing on their feet within just 12 hours of the treatment and were Discharged from the hospital in 48 hours. Having performed over 750 successful TAVI procedures so far, Narayana Health City has written a golden chapter in India's medical history.

​

This monumental success at Narayana Health City is not just limited to these two patients. It is a new ray of hope for thousands of cardiac patients across India who are deemed too high-risk for open-heart surgery due to advanced age. By making such less invasive, low-risk, and fast-recovery global treatments available right here in India, Narayana Health has set a gold standard in the nation's healthcare landscape.
